We're still running the unsecure 0.9.6g on freeBSD.

What are you talking about?

A swiss security lab has shown that it was possible to monitor an SSL connection and get passwords.

This affects all OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.6i or 0.9.7a

It's on all serious security lists.

So right now, SSL is useless to protect anything but one time credit card transactions.

http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-23.html is the latest OpenSSL Advisory.

That advisory is an old one.

Here is the official one from OpenSSL

That was the latest I coud find on CERT, oh well still needs to be patched

Looks like Psoft is going to have to do this. They have there own installed something custom so we don't want to go and mess it up. If someone wants they can post it on there site so they can get it fixed.
